Understanding your parental leave benefits–with all its overwhelming fine print–can be a daunting task! To make the process easier, human resource professional extraordinaire, Katy Dahl, shares with Adriana how to approach the process so that you can not only maximize your benefits, but also understand if your time off will impact your health insurance, your paycheck, or your retirement age. Katy brings clarity and levity to the topic, to help you avoid unfortunate surprises during postpartum!
